Right to Continuous Evaluation (CE).

In order to have the right to CE, it will be necessary to have a minimum of 80% of attendance to face-to-face classes, both expository and interactive teaching.

Final mark for CE = (0.7*Average of mixed tests) + (0.2*Average of objective tests) + (0.1*Collaborative work mark).

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance (as established in the corresponding regulations of the UdC), may take the CE without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes. To this end, these students will duly inform the lecturer, at the beginning of the course, of their academic dispensation and their availability to attend classes. The teachers will agree individually with these students on methodologies to compensate for the non-attendance to face-to-face classes and their corresponding evaluation.

Mixed tests.

During the CE there will be one or several mixed tests on the topics of the subject content. The final mark of the mixed exam will be the average of the different mixed exams that may take place during the course, but in order for these exams to be averaged together, a minimum mark of 4 will be required in each one. Whether several mixed tests are taken or only one is taken, the average of those, or the mark of this one, will be 70% of the CE qualification.

Those students who have not achieved a 4 in a mixed test, but have passed all the other assessment activities, may recover that mixed test in the May test.

Objective tests.

20% of the qualification is obtained from the average of the objective tests taken during the course. If any student fails to take an objective test without a justified reason, the mark for the test will be 0. Those who justify their absence will be able to take the test on another date designated by the teachers.

Collaborative work.

The remaining 10% will depend on the grade obtained in the work carried out according to collaborative learning, although it will be necessary to obtain more than a 5 for it to be counted. This work will be evaluated according to a rubric and will be graded out of 10 points, being necessary to obtain at least a 5/10 to be counted in the final grade.

Knots elimination test.

There will be a test to demonstrate the knowledge of the basic knots in a practical way which, although it is not included in the final grade, is eliminatory, being necessary to pass it in order to pass the subject.

Official 1st and 2nd opportunity exams.

Students who do not pass the CE (minimum attendance and qualification) or who decide not to follow it, may sit the final exams in May and July.

The assessment of these examinations shall consist of a mixed test which may consist of any type of question. The contents of these mixed tests may cover any content of the subject.

The May test will be divided into blocks covering the same content as the EC mixed tests. Students who have not achieved a 4 in any of the mixed tests, but who have passed all the rest of the CE activities, may sit this test.

The final grade of this exam will be the grade of this test, except for those students who take a block to recover, being the grade of this block the one that makes weighting with the rest of the activities of the CE. The resulting weighting will be the final grade of the exam. If the mark obtained in the May block is less than 4, the student will be considered to have failed the 1st exam session. If this student has taken the whole of the May test, the grade for the 1st opportunity will be that of the May test.

The 2nd sitting will cover all the contents of the subject, and no previous grade will be retained.

As in the CE, in order to pass the subject, students who have not passed it will take a knots test, which will be eliminatory.

Ethical behaviour.

If, during an assessment test, the teachers responsible become aware of any breach of the principles of decorum, legality or individual merit, such as the use of documents or instruments that are not permitted, the copying or attempted copying of results obtained by classmates, or access to the assessment tests with electronic instruments or mobile devices switched on, not expressly authorised by the teachers responsible, Article 14 will be applied, Article 14 of the Norms of Assessment, Revision and Claiming of the Qualifications of University Degree and Master's Degrees and the sanctions included in Article 11 of the Disciplinary Regulations for Students of the University of A Coruña will be applied (the student will be qualified with a "fail" - numerical grade 0 - in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence is committed at the first or the second opportunity. For this, the student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary).
